5-Star Experience! Oceanfront 4BR/4BA Villa w/ Private Beach + Pool, Snorkelling

We absolutely loved our family vacation to Akumal, Mexico! The very best part of the trip was the accommodations - Casa Playa del Carmen is a paradise! The home is perfectly kept and had plenty of space for our large family! We loved waking up every morning to the bright sunshine and the sound of the ocean and being able to walk right on to the beach from the back door! We loved kayaking, paddle boarding and snorkeling right there! The little kids collected buckets full of seashells and built sandcastles and when they got too hot they ran to the pool for a little dip! The housekeepers were awesome as well! We loved the fresh guacamole and chips several of the days we had them make for us! We loved being able to walk right along the beach from the house into the little town of Akumal. What a charming place to visit! If you are looking for a perfect get away with or without kids this is THE BEST!! We hope to return soon for more fabulous memories!

We could not have enjoyed our stay more. The beach is beautiful and swimable with amazing snorkeling. The rooms are spacious. An hour from the airport, 30 min from Tulum, 5 min from Akumal.

The hosts are the best I’ve ever had. Brittany was incredibly informative and helpful leading up to the trip. Pancho and Mercedes were amazing and their dinners were authentic and delicious.

We had some sargassum but Pancho and other crews had it off the beach before most of our group woke up.

One piece of advice for future renters: go ahead and advise Brittany that you want Mercedes to cook the first night. This will make your arrival much smoother. Also, the advice about renting a car is good.

Thanks thanks thanks to our hosts. Amazing trip.

We cannot express enough how pleased we were with our stay. The beach ... the house ... the pool ... the memories, and of course Poncho and Mercedes!

A beautiful, spacious & well appointed beachfront home was the perfect hangout for a week in Akumal. Onsite caretakers, Pancho & Mercedes, were professional, friendly and considerate of our privacy. I would stay here again.

House is exactly as the pictures show it. House is perfect. 4 bedrooms each with its own full bath. We had 10 adults and never felt cramped. Pool is awesome. Beach is awesome with the exception of the sea weed. Poncho cleans the beach every morning so it starts out clean but some days it comes back. Locals say the amount of sea weed is very unusual this year. We watched a turtle laying eggs on the beach and hoped to witness a hatching but weren't lucky enough to be there for that. Poncho and Mercedes are the most friendly people you will ever meet. We had Mercedes cook for us one night and the food was excellent and very affordable. The cost to cook is $10/person plus the cost of the food. With 10 adults it cost $20/person. That included appetizer, main course and dessert plus they served the whole meal and cleaned all the dishes. We truly felt pampered. We took a shuttle from the airport so we had no transportation but Poncho was willing to call a taxi for us a couple of times and even picked up a couple of items for us when they went to town. I highly recommend ETransfers if you choose to shuttle instead of renting a car. We walked to the Beached Bikini Bar for dinner and drinks. It is a about 1/2 mile and a little hard walking through the rocky areas but doable. I suggest not doing it in the dark. We also walked to Akumal once. It is about 1.2 miles down the beach. Good shopping and places to eat but again the walk is a good workout on the beach. Snorkeling from the beach is very good. There is a lot of coral and structure from the shore all the way out to the reef. Brittany answered ever email I sent her and all my questions, even the dumb ones. LOL. I highly recommend this property. I can't imagine how anyone could leave here disappointed.
